Sharn Inquisitive, News for Sul, Vult 15th, 998: Watch Promises Extra Patrols

SHARN -- The city will be well protected against criminals during the upcoming nights of the Long Shadows (Vult 26th through 28th), according to Lord Commander Iyan ir'Talan. "The Sharn Watch remains vigilant throughout the year, and Long Shadows is no exception," asserted ir'Talan on Sar. "City residents can take comfort in knowing that they're safe in their homes with the Watch on guard."

Commander ir'Talan said patrols would be increased by one-quarter during Long Shadows nights. Furthermore, the Daggerwatch Garrison plans to augment patrols in the Dura quarter by one-half.

"I'd like to commend my watch commanders for the success of last year's Shadows at Bay operation, during which the Watch arrested more than a thousand criminals during Long Shadows," ir'Talan said. "And I can promise an even safer city this year." Read More...

BossytheCow Update

Keith Baker has posted an updated version of Thelestes who originally appeared in Dragon #327.

You can find him, and other characters, on the Bossy the Cow Character Page.

A little preview here is her physical description:

At first, there seems to be little to draw the eye to this young elf. Though not unpleasant to look upon, she has made little effort to enhance her natural beauty; her cloak is gray and stained by the weather, draped over a white blouse and peasant breeches. Then she smiles at you, and a thrill runs through you – despite her average appearance, she has a magnetism that goes far deeper than simple appearance. She takes a step towards you, moving with a dancer’s grace. As she does, everything changes. Her short blond hair takes on a brilliant red hue, spreading around her head and shoulders like a wild wreath of flame. Her features and figure seem to become sharper and more defined, and an instant later she has become a creature of flawless beauty. Leathery wings unfold from beneath her cloak, and she twirls one
end of a long, glittering chain that has appeared in her hands. The rattling links of the chain sound like music, and she laughs as she dances towards you.
